What kind of wine goes with Egg'd meatloaf?

I was thinking a cabernet but then it struck me that a late model Mogan David would be more in line. Or perhaps a Chilean single vineyard malbec. But I guess that would depend on the type of bread accompanying the meatloaf. If it is cornbread, then maybe a nice muscadine made in the traditional way by home-grown sots... I get so confused when it comes to wines... Right now, Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill might do the trick.

Oh yea, price is not an issue up to $3.50 a bottle.

Leroy,

I would go with a nice Austrailian merlot (murh-lawt)

funny but I was thinking a slightly chilled Australian Yellow Tail Shiraz.

BTW what ever happened to our resident wine expert - I think his name was Chance

You forgot my favorites Thunderbird & Ripple. Great chaser for single malt.IMHO

I tried Yellow Tail Shiraz one time but found it lacking the necessary fizz to make it work with meatloaf.

Although it does work well with some solid pieces of bovine.

I could be that Australians know nothing about cooking meatloaf.

Not to mention it having one of those annoying corks...

You were right with the Malbec, but it has to be from Mendoza, Argentina.

I've never been a big fan of Merlot. Tastes a little like Dr Pepper without the grapes. It's not on the list of possibilities.

Maybe, but I'm not going to fly down to Argentina anytime soon. Coming back is too hard.

Or perhaps a Chilean single vineyard malbec.

Leroy, you answered your own question!! Can't beat a malbec with any High or Low Brow meal

Mr. & Mrs Potatohead · January 2010

Personally speaking, I’m with Rich! ANY red wine will do.
OTOH, if I really had a choice and I had more than $3.50 to spend on the bottle, I’d go with the malbec too…

fishlessman · January 2010

if it aint mateus, it aint no use. :laugh: its pretty much the only wine i drink, all the others i cook with while sampling

ill treat myself to a good bottle of port once a year, but i really dont consider that a wine nor would it go with meatloaf. i would go with the pink rose bubbly matues in the decorative bottle and spend the extra 3.50 on it
